SECTION 6. STORING AND RETRIEVING DATALOGGER PROGRAMS
CR10, 21X, and CR7 programs can be uploaded and downloaded between the datalogger and the
Storage Module in the *D Mode. (OSX and OS7 series PROMS required for 21X and CR7.) SMCOM
(or telecommunications commands) allows programs to be transferred between the computer and the
SM. Using these capabilities, a program can be developed in the computer, stored in the SM, and then
carried to the field and downloaded to the DATALOGGERS.
The SM can store up to 8 programs. They are numbered 1 through 8 and are protected against being
written over by data.
With the release of the OS series PROMS (OS10, OSX, OS7), the DATALOGGERS were given the
capability of automatically loading program 8 if the Storage Module were connected to the datalogger
when the datalogger is powered on.
21X and CR7 PROMS prior to the current OSX and OS7 versions do not have the capability to store and
directly load programs from the SM. Programs may be transferred via DSP4 Heads Up Display (Section
6.3).
6.1 *D MODE - WITH DATALOGGER
The *D Mode is used to transfer programs
between the datalogger and Storage Module.
The commands in Table 6.1-1 are used to save,
retrieve, or clear programs from the Storage
Module. See the appropriate datalogger
manual for further details on the *D Mode.

2YA Load Program Y from SM
3YA Erase Program Y from SM
13:0000 command completed
The program is stored, retrieved, or erased by
referring to a program number (1...8) in the
Storage Module. If a program to be retrieved
does not exist in the Storage Module, the error
message "E99" will be displayed. After a
program is erased the space becomes available
for data storage.
The 21X or CR7 must have only one
Storage Module connected when storing
and retrieving programs.
6.2 SMCOM - WITH COMPUTER
SMCOM has options to automatically store,
retrieve, and erase datalogger programs. If you
cannot use SMCOM, the Storage Module
telecommunications commands are described
in Appendix D.
6.3 USING DSP4 HEADS UP DISPLAY
TO STORE AND RETRIEVE
DATALOGGER PROGRAMS
In addition to real-time monitoring of datalogger
measurements, the DSP4 Heads Up Display
can be used with the CR10, 21X (including pre-
OSX versions with Extended Software) and the
CR7 dataloggers to store and retrieve data and
programs. The DSP4 Load and Save program
commands will allow loading and saving CR10,
21X, and CR7 datalogger programs in the
Storage Module.
The DSP4 Flag buttons 1...8 will execute the
Load or Save command using the Storage
Module as the medium. Up to 8 datalogger
programs can be saved at one time in the
Storage Module. The program to be saved or
loaded is selected by pressing the appropriate
push button switch. Refer to the DSP4
Instruction Manual for more details.
